A message from NC’s United Way Campaign Committee:

A big thank you to everyone who helped make our NC Cares United Way Campaign kick-off a great success!

This year’s campaign, which launched at Niagara Day on August 30, has raised an incredible $23,000! Let’s keep our ‘united’ momentum going as we aim to raise $40,000 for the United Way.

We would like to thank and congratulate the following Niagara Day donation winners:
